New York Sanctum.
Chen Mo's fingers, which were resting on the edge of the magic circle, twitched slightly.
The next second, the black and red substance quickly dispersed, following the deliberately left green signal into the network.
They crawled forward silently, clinging tightly to the data stream.
The golden magic circle began to flicker intensely.
The once stable magical lines were instantly stained crimson, and large areas of runes twisted and contorted. The runes that originally symbolized order and truth suddenly became distorted.
The Ancient One's eye twitched slightly as she watched this scene.
" Chen Mo, are you sure this won't damage my magic circle?"
Chen Mo didn't turn around; his attention was entirely focused on the signal.
"Don't worry, I'll pay for it if it breaks."
The Ancient One remained silent for a moment.
"Can you cast spells? Then you'll pay up?"
"I can send you a new one; the design will be copied from this one."
Chen Mo pressed his finger forward, and the black and red substance instantly disguised itself along the signal, turning into a seemingly normal piece of transmitted data.
But in reality, the real Chen Mo had already squeezed through that route.
His consciousness pierced through the layers of nodes between the sun, satellites, and Earth's defense network, directly penetrating the source of that strange force.
Countless green codes flashed before my eyes.
Chen Mo analyzed the permission structure and the other party's energy logic.
Soon, he saw a completely unfamiliar spatial coordinate system.
That's not the Crime Syndicate that invaded Earth last time.
Neither the equipment style nor the energy operation method matches the information provided by Nite Owl.
Chen Mo narrowed his eyes.
So, there's more than one mastermind behind this?
Last time, those guys came to steal Earth, but this time it seems more like they're measuring coordinates for some other being.
As for the mole in Wakanda, he was simply given a bone by someone, and then he led his entire family to rush up and open the door.
"Found it."
The Ancient One turned his face to the side.
Where did you come from?
A slow smile crept onto Chen Mo's lips.
"Another world."
He paused for a moment, then added, "And it wasn't the same group as last time."
The Ancient One's gaze fell on the crimson magic circle.
What are you planning to do?
"Send them your location first."
"Fake?"
"Half true, half false."
Chen Mo smiled, and the black and red substance continued forward following the signal.
"This is truly my position; what's fake is their belief that they can control me."
The Royal Palace of Wakanda.
T'Chaka had a pistol pointed at his head.
The data on the main control panel had been mostly packaged, and several thick beams of light rose from the underground energy core, piercing through the palace dome and reaching into the clouds.
The fighting outside continues.
The combined forces and the silver-black robots collided, and the explosions were almost constant.
"Your Majesty, please stop struggling."
The technical officer gripped his pistol tightly, his face growing increasingly fanatical.
"Once the passage opens, we will all leave this backward world and enter paradise."
T'Chaka stared at him.
"Idiot! You don't even know who the other person is."
They possess power far exceeding ours!
So you believe them?
The technical official paused for a moment, then smiled.
The strong have no need to deceive the weak.
T'Chaka glanced at the screen.
"You think they took us away out of kindness?"
"At least it's better than staying here and waiting to die."
He raised his hand, ready to press the final confirmation button.
But the moment the fingertip touched the screen, the entire palace suddenly fell silent.
All green codes stopped simultaneously.
The transfer progress is stuck at 99%.
The technical official's smile froze on his face.
What happened?
The technicians nearby frantically pounded on the control panel, but the screen remained unresponsive.
"I don't know, the permissions are still there, and the transmission line isn't broken!"
"Then why did it stop?"
A thin red line emerged from the bottom of the screen, quickly covering a large area of green code.
Outside the royal palace.
Tony had just been slammed into the ground by a silver-black robot, and his chest armor dented a little more.
He propped himself up on his arms, warning messages popping up on his visor.
" JARVIS, call in Anti-Chen Mo Armor."
"Sir, communication could not be established."
Tony gritted his teeth.
"I didn't ask if it could be established, call again!"
"Sir, the global defense network remains under external access control; the satellite housing the Anti-Chen Mo Armor is not responding."
A beam of green energy shot towards us.
Tony had just raised his arm when Steve rushed in front of him, his shield blocking the energy beam, and the impact propelling him backward.
" Tony, stop spacing out on the battlefield!"
"I'm calling for backup!"
"And what about your support?"
"Support is on strike."
Steve dodged another attack by sidestepping, and then smashed his shield into the robot's head.
The robot staggered backward, and Tony seized the opportunity to rush forward, firing both palm cannons and shoulder missiles simultaneously.
The explosion overturned the robot.
But it quickly rose again from the smoke and dust.
Tony's expression darkened further as he looked at the metal casing, which bore only a few shallow scratches.
"Damn it, they only release so little Vibranium each year, yet they practically have Vibranium in their own toilets."
The ground in the distance suddenly rose up.
Hulk burst out from beneath the shattered ground, smashing through two robots with a single punch. He then grabbed one of them by the leg and flung it toward the swarm of drones in mid-air.
The green energy network was breached.
" Hulk, watch out for your teammates!"
Fury's voice came through the makeshift channel.
Hulk didn't answer, he just grabbed another robot and smashed it away.
The ground front finally stabilized after the Hulk joined the fray.
But Thor in the sky found himself in even bigger trouble.
He raised Mjolnir, and raging lightning poured down from the clouds, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield.
Six flying robots simultaneously deployed their shields.
The lightning did not penetrate the shield; instead, it was split into hundreds of streams that poured into the surrounding drones.
The numerous drones lit up simultaneously, and the energy network tightened again.
Thor roared and intensified the power of the lightning.
The green shield trembled violently.
But the next moment, all the lightning was suddenly redirected to the chest of a black robot.
The robot raised its arm, and a huge green sphere of light condensed on its chest, which it then blasted out instantly.
Thor was hit head-on, his body spinning backward as he crashed through several houses.
" Thor!"
Steve looked up and called out.
"It's okay, I'm still alive!"
Thor crawled out of the wreckage, his chest armor charred black.
He watched the group of robots approaching again, his anger almost tangible.
"These metal lumps only know how to steal my mines!"
"Then don't use lightning."
Tony raised his hand and blasted a drone away.
"Smash it with a hammer, man."
Thor glanced down at the hammer in his hand.
This suggestion may sound insulting to God, but it does make some sense.
Inside the palace, the red lines on the main control screen had spread across the entire interface.
The technical officials frantically pounded on the control panel.
"Activate backup transmission!"
"The backup line is not responding!"
"Switch to energy core!"
"Core command refused to execute!"
Seeing his increasingly out-of-control expression, T'Chaka finally understood.
They did not lose control.
Instead, someone else took control.
A stream of dark red liquid seeped from the gap in the control panel and slowly climbed up the screen.
The technical officer took a half step back and raised his gun, aiming it at the strange color.
What is this?
Chen Mo's voice came from the speaker.
"Didn't your adopted dad teach you anything?"
Everyone froze.
Before opening the door, see who's standing outside.
The screen flickered suddenly.
Then, a sinister grin appeared on the screen.
